Card Captor Sakura
Chapter 23
First appeared in "Nakayoshi: March 1998"
Written and illustrated by CLAMP
Translation v 1.1 by Kittyhawk

Version 1.1 changes: "Li" is changed to "Shaolan," because that's his given name. "Kerberos" is changed to "Cerberus" because it's a better translation.

p.4
SHAOLAN: This harbinger...!
SAKURA: Clow Card!
SHAOLAN: And a powerful one at that!!

p.5
YUKITO: Are you all right?

p.6
SAKURA: Hey! It's alright for Mizuki-sensei to face magic, but Yukito can't do that!
SHAOLAN: Forgive me!!!
(Shaolan punches Yukito out)

p.7
SAKURA: Li-kun!! Yukito-san!!
SHAOLAN: He only lost consciousness!

p.8
SHAOLAN: NOW!!
SAKURA: Y-yes! "REALIZE!" (The key appears)

p.9
SAKURA: "SHIELD!!" Mizuki-sensei!!

p.10
(Kaho protects herself with the "YUE" streamers)

p.11
SAKURA: ...amazing.

p.12
SAKURA: "WINDY!!" Aaaaaahhh!

p.13
KERO: It's impossible to use "Windy" against this enemy!
SAKURA: Kero-chan!!

p.14
KERO: Sure "wind" is one of the four great element Clow Cards, and one of the high ranked cards along with "Light" and "Dark." But against that one, it's defeatable!
SHAOLAN: The Card is one of the four great elements!?
SAKURA: I'll use "Windy" and "Watery." After all, it is the Card of "Fire."

p.15
SHAOLAN: The Card uses "fire" to attack. It's definitely impossible to attack with "wind" only!

p.16
SAKURA: The only way to fight fire is with..."WATERY!"

p.17
SHAOLAN: Is she alright!?
KERO: I don't know..."Fire" and "Water" are on par with each other with power.

p.18
SAKURA: The magic of another is not strong enough for the power of Sakura! Take this!
KAHO: That's dangerous!!

p.19
SAKURA: Aaaahhhh!
KERO AND SHAOLAN: SAKURA!!
KAHO: Are you all right!?

p.20
SAKURA: It's Kero-chan!! Be strong, Kero-chan!!
KERO: T-that's n-not as easy as it s-sounds...My symbol is the "SUN." "Fire" is my attribute, as for the Card, but its power is increasing beyond...but I don't appear to be as lucky as "fire" now...

p.21
KERO: ...Sakura, preservere...this fire is a Card, but another is number one...
SAKURA: What...KERO-CHAN!!

p.22
SAKURA: This is Kero-chan's wish!

p.23
SAKURA: A wish that another will not take away! I, Sakura, will preservere! The power of the "Clow," this key has the power to catch the Cards which dwell on this magical power. This key transmits the power of the Clow and me!!

p.24
SAKURA: WINDY!!

p.25
SAKURA: WATERY!!
SHAOLAN: Using two Cards simultaneously!?

p.27
SHAOLAN: "Fire" is fading!

p.28
SHAOLAN: NOW!
SAKURA: You should return to your original appearance...

p.29
SAKURA: "CLOW CARD!!"

p.30
(It becomes the Card Firey)
SAKURA: Kero-chan!?

p.31-33
(Kero-chan grows larger to become Cerberus)

p.34
SAKURA: Y-you are...who are you?
CERBERUS: What! Are you senile!? I'm Cerberus!
SAKURA: (W-WHAT?!)
CERBERUS: Well, is this not the true appearance of Kero-chan!? So?

p.35
CERBERUS: So... I guess Kero-chan didn't make a big impression on you(and I'm so good looking >:( ).
Don't think that this will suffice. The last card is not "Firey." There is just one more left to capture. After that, that damn person will appear.
SAKURA: Who?

p.36
CERBERUS: ...Yue.
SAKURA: Earthquake!?

p.37
SHAOLAN: It's coming from under a building!!
KAHO: It's probably at the shinto shrine around here.
SAKURA: Li-kun, NOW!
KAHO: ...My role is coming up...
p.38
SAKURA: AAAaaaahhh!!
(Sakura falls through crevice, but Li grabs her hand)
SHAOLAN: Your hand...quick...!
(Sakura slips)

p.40
SHAOLAN: SAKURA!!!
(Cerberus saves Sakura)
SAKURA: Thank you!

p.41
SAKURA: Now, did you yell "Sakura"?
SHAOLAN: Th-th-that is... I-it was spur of the moment...n-n-n-not particularly...! ^_^;;
SAKURA: Well, I'm happy. I heard you yell, Shaolan-kun.
SHAOLAN: (BLUSH!) I kinda fond of you...you're a close friend!
CERBERUS: The traces are close!

p.42
CERBERUS: The entrance of the last Card.
SAKURA: I can't believe this is the last Card...
SHAOLAN: One of the four great elements...

p.43
SHAOLAN: The Card of "Earth!"
